Utah Museum of Contemporary Art, Contemporary art museum in downtown Salt Lake City, United States
The Utah Museum of Contemporary Art is an art museum in downtown Salt Lake City that focuses on modern artistic forms and features rotating exhibitions throughout the year. The building presents works from national and international artists across multiple gallery spaces, each with its own focus and character.
The institution was founded in 1931 as the Salt Lake Art Center and later developed into a central venue for contemporary art in Utah. Over the decades, the museum's focus shifted to emphasize modern and current artistic positions rather than historical perspectives.
The museum plays a vital role in the local art scene, drawing both established and emerging artists to present their work. Its programs shape the cultural life of Salt Lake City and provide space for experimental and contemporary artistic practices.
Admission is free with a suggested donation, and the museum opens Tuesday through Saturday for most of the week. Friday evenings remain open until 9 PM, giving you extra time to explore if you prefer a later visit.
The museum contains several specialized gallery areas including the ED Space and AIR Space, which showcase different artistic approaches and experimental work. These varied spaces allow visitors to experience contemporary art from multiple perspectives and production methods.
